​Style on a Budget: Tips & Tricks for Looking Great Without Breaking the Bank

August 1, 2017

If you are looking to spruce up your wardrobe without breaking the bank, consider splurging on a few quality items while saving on the rest. Pick and choose items to invest in that look and feel great that will last longer. Avoid high-end items that are too trendy if you want to use them for more than one season.

One or two high-quality tailored sport coats are worth the investment. Grey and blue are versatile enough to take you from business meetings to social engagements. You can fill in with seasonal blazers that fit decently for under a hundred dollars at most discount stores.

The style of your tie says a lot about you, and a luxury tie will make you stand out from the crowd. A Squiddledee Tie is for the confident, sophisticated guy who wants to start a conversation without saying a word. Add a few to your wardrobe and see the results, and skip the cheap ties altogether.

An everyday oxford shirt is probably the simplest item in your wardrobe to replenish. You can walk into several retail shops and find an affordable, good quality shirt in a number of colors that you can rotate throughout your work week. Simple oxfords are versatile and can be paired with different jackets and ties. Plus, they won’t take the attention away from your cool Squiddledee Tie.

Jeans and chinos are a staple for casual and business wear. Since chinos are pretty standard, you can pick up a few pairs on the cheap and work them into your wardrobe with some of your better items. Jeans should fit well and feel good. Invest in a better pair that you can wear in the office and out with friends.
